I will try, but as a layman I may not do justice to the topic.

An anti-biotic as defined by UCbiotech.org:

Antibiotic
Chemical sometimes synthesized by other organisms, sometimes manufactured, that is a deterrent to other organisms.

The original antibiotics were derived from organisms and many still are. I believe that they are generally quite specific in their action. In essence, they are a kind of chemical self-defense/warfare mechanism of living organisms. Penicillin for example is a mold that kills various bacteria.

EIS in contrast is a colloidal mineral that is reputed to have its widespread destructive/inhibitory effect on bacteria and viruses as a result of some combination of electrical or physical damage to various organisms. From all I have read, EIS is fairly indiscriminate and kills many simple organisms, whereas I believe the antibiotics are more discriminating and can be chosen in order to target specific pathogens. Moreover, antibiotics are generally not effective against viruses, whereas EIS reputedly is.


Apologies for this crude and inadequate synopsis. I am sure a bit of homework can bring you up to speed and then you will be much better informed than I am.

Hey!  JBB,
I missed class that day, along with the rest of the days. :0 ) Could you, very simply, tell me the distinction? TIA,

CS/EIS is not an antibiotic. It is a broad-spectrum anti-bacterial/anti-viral agent. The distinction is important.

not a drink. more     CS means more dosing times, not chugging it.
i believe the body intelligently uses some of the CS ions to kill pathogens. i believe this is an intelligent active process and smaller amounts more
frequently help this process.
